AT last n jury has been found to try JACOB
Sharp, but it has taken nearly five weeks TO
get it, and IL has cost the State many hundreds
OF dollars. This long, tedious, risky and
wholly unnecessary work has had one good re
suit. II has directed public attention, a.
nothing else could have done, to the wrctchetl
system so long in vogue of supplying jurors in
courts, which is undoubtedly chargeablc
with much Of tho discomfort manifested al
trial by jury. The law governing the drawing
of jurors is good enough, as the law usually
is. but its practice in New York has become
so miserable that tho Judges Of all the courts
are combining in an earnest effort to see if
something cannot be done TO get little char
acter and intelligence upon the jury lists.
The present Commissioner OF Jurors is q

about tho acombines and the Stakeholder

he told what he did with the money, and bis
statements on this point will doubtless be

they furnish TO those who would otherwise be
unable to leave hot and sitting city homes
is beyond estimate.
The Indignation caused by President Glove
lands inexcusable order concerning captured
rebel battle flags was by no means confined TO
Republicans. Loyal Democrats were hardly a
whit less outspoken In condemning it. The
order Is rescinded not because Mr.. Cleveland
has any respect for the wounded feelings Of
Northern patriots, but because the flags cannot
be surrendered lawfully without the action Of
Congress. The men who fought for and saved

MORE HOWL.
The New Jersey LEGISLATURE Has Anoth.
er Lively Day-P"licemen Who Tined
to Keep order, Arrested.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. ~.
Two policemen who exercised authority in
the Assembly Chamber yesterday were ar
rested today, but we're at once admitted to
bail
The object of the arrests were simply to
lay ground for proceedings against Governor
ALBEIT who directed the policemen's action.
The purpose of the regular democrats TO or
ganze the assembly on their own basis has
been abandoned and the House met this
morning, with Speaker Baird in the chair.
Wranglings aud disputations were the or
der of the day. The Speakers gravel was
disregarded and the House resolved itself
into bowling mob. A recess was taken un-
til 3 o'clock.
The Senate met at 8 o'clock and the org
aniz 'tion was again postponed to tomorrow
at P. M.
| the excitement over the contested seats in
the assembl, continued this afternoon and
when Speaker Baird took the chair the gal
leries were packed. The business pending
from the morning session was resolution
from Mr. Hudspeth, democrat, that Mr..
Turley of the 81 Camden district, be seated.
Various amendments were offered and mo-
tons and speeches followed without result.
Wolverton, who led the revolt from the
democratic caucus, then arose and declared
he was still democrat and would vote for
| a democratic United States senator and wou d
all through support democratic measures.
His action yesterday, he claimed, was due
to the unfair treatment he had received.
The wrangling was then resumed but fin-
ally the motion 20 seat Turley was carried
and he was sworn in. The work of the
House then proceedad more smoothly but
still with difficulty.

Prince Bismarck Addresses the Reichs.
tag on Military Problems.

BERLIN, Jan. II.
The debate on the army bill was resumed
in the Reicbstag today. DR.. Windthorst
again spoke in favor of the triennate term.
Prince Bismarck replied: ''In three years
we might be confronted with greatly altered
circumstances. To be sure, it is also impos-
sible to calculate the position of affairs seven
years hence, but during that period the eff
cheney of our army would be secured and a
compromise would be possible. In the centre
party number of heterogeneous political ele-
ments are becoming united, but will the
union last! Is its continuance until the next
elections certain? At the time when so many
rights and privileges were granted to the
Reichstag by the constitution there was no
idea they would lead to such miserable dis
putes as have now arisen"
In speaking OF the imperial army the chan
cellor said he had no intention to detract
from the rights Of sovereigns of the federal
states as heads of their respective armies /:
nor, he continued, would the government
contest the right of the House to criricise the
bill during the debate on the budget, provid-
ed the governments proposals were now
accepted.
Referring to the question of the working
men, he said that the government did not
wish to drag it into present discussion. He
was sure that if called upon by the Emperor,
the workingmen of Germany would be ready
at all times to come forward in defence OF
the fatherland
